Bulk shares allows for the sharing of ServiceNow records. Bulk shares can contain conditions and can also be configured to contain a group of scheduled bulk shares to be run in an order that you can specify.

(info) NOTE: To bulk share tables that are in a scoped application, you may need to alter the table's Application Access. Scoped applications may restrict access to their tables in which case you will need to alter a scoped application table for bulk sharing.

Prerequisites
